BVI Scouts & Girl Guides BVI receive over $15k from RVIPF
In a statement, the RVIPF said the funds were collected in 2020, however, there was a delay in its presentation to these associations.
“The Police Week Planning Committee of the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF), under the leadership of then Deputy Commissioner Alwin James, decided in 2020 to raffle a vehicle as a fund-raising project during that year’s Police Week activities. Mr. Shan Mohammed of Tortola Auto Group (TAG) very happily gave his support to the idea and assisted with acquiring a 2019 Ford Ranger XLT pickup truck. Other kind sponsors were NAGICO Insurance, Delta Petroleum, KAD Pools, PST Law, and Travel Wise,” the statement said.
The pickup truck was raffled off on December 24, 2020, and a female resident of the East End community emerged the winner.
Funds will assist BVI Scouts & Girl Guides BVI in their work with VI youth
The work of the BVI Scouts and Girl Guides BVI in ensuring that VI young children are taught life skills, discipline, and values deserved some support, the statement from the RVIPF continued.
“It was also recognized that since the passing of Hurricane Irma in 2017, the building where they hosted activities was severely damaged and in need of repairs; therefore, they were selected as the recipients for our donations.”
Therefore, a donation of $15, 430 was presented to BVI Scouts and Girl Guides BVI.
“We are battling the [loss] of our young persons to crime, drugs, and peer pressure, therefore, we must commend these organisations for the work they are doing against all odds. We hope that these funds will assist in continuing the work of both associations to the BVI community,” the statement ended.
